India 213-4 (72 ovs) & 189 vs Aus 276 | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the second Test between India and Australia in Bengaluru, on Tuesday.

India make a good comeback with Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane sharing an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 93 giving the hosts a lead of 126 and keep their hopes alive, on a see-saw third day.

India's chances appeared slim when paceman Josh Hazlewood's triple strike helped Australia reduce them to 120 for four before tea and the touring side looked favourites to take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series.

Pujara and Rahane batted through the final session to ensure India will set them a decent target to chase on a difficult pitch. At close of play, Pujara was unbeaten on 79 with Rahane on 40 to take India to 213 for four. KL Rahul completed his second fifty of the match before he fell for 51, brilliantly caught by Steve Smith in the slips off left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe.

Earlier, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took six for 63 as India fought back to dismiss the tourists for 276 in the morning session.
